I
am sick and tired of Republicans constantly telling me that they “can’t find
Black Republicans” to hire for their presidential campaigns or they “don’t know
where to find Black entrepreneurs to engage with.”

Well,
you find them the same place you find Biff and Buffy to hire for your campaigns;
and you find Black entrepreneurs the same way you find Chuck and Shane.

Most
people call their friends for recommendations when looking to hire someone. They call people they know and trust. I’ll let you decide what that says about all
these Republicans who constantly tell me they don’t know where these Black
Republicans are.

This
frustration has led me to create Black Americans for a Better Future (BAFABF),
the first and only Super PAC established to get more Blacks involved in the
Republican Party. Our focus is strictly
on the Black entrepreneur.

Far
too many Republicans think they know more about the Black community than a Black
person; consequently, they think the gateway to the our community is the
preacher or issues like criminal justice reform, abortion, or crack/cocaine
disparities.

As
I tell these Republicans, “I have been Black most of my life” and I know what
issues are most important to my community; and the issues above are not
it.

In
the Black community, the businessman is the gateway to us. He is typically the chairman of the board of
trustees at our church and in many cases the head of the deacon board. If you get the entrepreneur on your side, he
will bring you the pastor and the pastor will bring you the congregation.

It’s
that simple!

If
Republicans understood this, they would gain more traction within the Black
community. Not one presidential
candidate has met with any Black Republican businessmen. Our congressional leadership has never
convened a meeting of Black Republican businessmen.

Why?

These
businessmen have the wherewithal to write political checks, but they see no
value in doing so because they believe they are not welcomed in the Republican
Party.

BAFABF
will have several major announcements in regards to solving these issues very
soon.

I
have met with several presidential candidates and they have indicated a serious
willingness to engage with us to address some of these concerns.

BAFABF
has hosted a series of dinners across the country with some of the top Black
businessmen in the country—Democrat, Republican, and Independent; none are
opposed to engaging with the Republican Party.
The question is, “is the Republican Party ready to engage with
them?”

Is
the Republican Party ready to deal with the devastation Obama has wreaked on the
small and minority business community?
Under Bush, Blacks received 8% of all loans coming from the Small
Business Administration (SBA); under Obama, that number is now only 1.8%. What are Republicans willing to do to address
this issue?

Obama
has totally destroyed the Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU)
community. This directly impacts an
entrepreneur’s ability to grow his business if he can’t find people with the
right skill set to hire. What are
Republicans willing to do to address this issue?

Obama’s
excessive regulations are smothering the small business community. What solutions will Republicans offer to
remedy this situation?

If
Republicans are willing to engage with the Black business community based on
solving real problems; you won’t have to worry about how they will vote or where
they will give their money. They are
problem solvers and enthusiastic supporters of capitalism and the American
Dream.

BAFABF
will be a conduit that will bring together the brightest and the best
businessmen to engage with our party’s leadership; and if they would only make
them feel welcomed into this party, they will be pleasantly surprised at the
many things they both have in common.

Our
PAC will serve not only as their PR firm; but also their booking agent when
groups are looking for speakers. This
will include placing them in the media and all the talking head TV
shows.

Unfortunately,
there is no surrogate program in place anywhere within the Republican Party to
showcase this phenomenal talent that is sitting on the sidelines. We already have surrogates in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, Virginal, and Florida, just to
name a few.

We
have already begun to roll them out into both local and national
media.

I
find it astonishing that there is no surrogate program by the party to push back
on all the liberal orthodoxy being propagated by all the liberal groups into the
Black community. There are no credible
Black Republicans on MSNBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, etc.
A lie that is repeated enough becomes the truth.

Our
surrogates are not seeking to make the party feel “comfortable” with them, but
rather people who will tell the truth.
Our surrogates are Blacks who actually have personal ties and
relationships within their own community; not the Blacks Republicans typically
get to do media who have absolutely no connection or credibility within the
Black community.

These
Black media whores that certain Republicans constantly promote do more damage to
the cause than anything liberal Democratic policies could ever dream of.

Our
goal at BAFABF is to make America’s future brighter by uplifting and showcasing
the true leaders in the Black community—the entrepreneur.
